Due to recurring problems with offsite linked avatars dramatically exceeding our size limitations and causing bandwidth issues, the Nightstar Zoo will no longer have the option of offsite avatars. We apologize for this inconvenience, but remind you that if your avatar is within the size limits, you can upload it as your avatar and it will be safely stored on our servers.

This change will go into effect on Wednesday, 21 January 2004, which should give you time to make sure that you won't lose your avatar. If you're reading this for the first time after this date, now you know why it's important to keep an eye on the Call of the Wild forum.

If your offsite avatar is too large and you would like a smaller version to upload, but can not shrink it yourself, a staff member may be able to assist you.

Please visit #nightstar or respond in this topic for further assistance.
